Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 8- ounce slab of feta cheese drained on paper towels, and blotted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°
  2. Line a small baking dish with parchment paper. You can use a regular baking dish and transfer the finished appetizer to a serving dish or even a wooden tray.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the feta cheese.
  4. Bake the fetta for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is soft and springy and just beginning to melt in the corners.
  5. Preheat your oven on the broiler.
  6. Heat the honey briefly in the microwave to thin it out.
  7. Drizzle the honey over the fetta, trying to cover as much as possible, or use a pastry brush.
  8. Brush the honey over the roasted feta slab. Make sure to cover the entire surface. Pour any excess honey over the top of the slab.
  9. Place the baking pan back in the oven and broil until the cheese is beginning to brown and the honey bubbles. This only takes a few minutes. Keep a very close eye on it as the honey may burn.
  10. Immediately transfer the feta with the parchment to a serving dish if using.
  11. Sprinkle thyme leaves and a nice grind of black pepper.
  12. Serve with crackers or a good crusty sourdough loaf.

Recipe Notes

If you have a little baking dish that you can broil in, and you want to serve it in, you don’t have to line it with parchment paper.
